we have elected democratic governors. i think the coloradoens take a look at the candidate and vote for the person they think will do the best job for colorado and the country. >> it seems to me in watching what i feel like the conversation colorado voters are having with each other is that the president thinks women voters and social issues are the key to the reelection and the romney campaign thinks talking about the deficit is a winner here. what say you? are both on the right track to get to 50? >> i think it depends on which base the two parties are trying to get out. obviously the democratic party with its so-called war on women is trying to make sure it gets the turnout from that element. and my party is looking i think more broadly at the fact that the economy effects men and women. the deficit effects men and women young and old. i would suggest that my party and mitt romney are actually waging a campaign that is trying to address real issues as opposed to issues that really haven't proven to be very operative in

to election. people say they will vote more democrat or republican. it varies in a particular poll that dick morris was referring to. we had 2% more in ohio democratic but at the same time we asked 1% more republican and 1% more in florida. he picked that one to take a pot shots at. more recent poll had more republicans than in 2008. the long and short is there is no standard party id. comparison to 2008 is itself a comparison to the exit polls and party id does vary from election to election. if you use 2004 you would be surprised to find more democratic, we are finding it a little less democratic than in 2008. we had a group over the weekend last weekend -- and a lot of questions about jobs and the economy and values in society and one person asked about this party id controversy that exists and this is sort of a very -- not quite in the beltway but more predominant. >> it is an argument that both sides make depending upon who doesn't like the result of the polls. we did see democrats make a sim

one of the arguments against the president getting re-elected is if he gets re-elected, he's going to have a republican congress to work with, and nothing's going to get done. we won't let anything get done. i think boehner's comments come from a purely political place, not a realistic place. the other thing in the 2010 lame duck session i was very pessimistic anything was going to happen. in fact, we had a rash of actual substantive happenings including the repeal of don't ask don't tell, extension of payroll tax cuts and unemployment insurance and unfortunately an extension of the bush tax cuts. a lot happened in the lame duck session, so that's a possibility again for this year. >> i think we can't look at this in a vacuum, though. it makes sense to wait right now and talk pessimistically about the lame duck session. no one knows what the composition will be after the elections. if your party is suddenly in a better position come january, you have an incentive to kick it down the road a little bit. what we see right now, which party is in a bargaining position, and this is a lost o
